Girl

Famous quotes containing the word girl:

““I am as brown as brown can be,
And my eyes as black as sloe;
I am as brisk as brisk can be,
And wild as forest doe.”

“This girl borrowed no dim light of a star
Nor ever night held her in a dark mesh,
A slim bloom she stood of the first larkspur,
A wind of spring fluttered in her white flesh.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“A girl could only see
That a flower had marred a man,
But what she could not see
Was that the flower might be
Other than base and fetid:”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
